MicroPod SE
Loudspeaker
ENGLISH / Welcome to a new world of sound
MicroPod SE is best used with the tweeters approximately at ear level when seated.
Spikes are enclosed and wall mounting is optional and offers opportunity for optimizing the sound
through selecting the height and angle of the loudspeaker position.
If you place the loudspeakers on a shelf or furniture unit, the enclosed feet or spikes should be
attached for protection from unwanted resonances and from scratches.
ENGLISH / Loudspeaker positioning
Variations in placement of MicroPod SE can produce significant differences in the way the music
sounds. No listening rooms are the same and therefore we encourage you to spend some time experi-
menting with which placements work best in your listening room. - Trust your ears and be willing to
experiment freely.
You can start with our basic recommendations illustrated on the following page:

ENGLISH / Home Theatre Systems
MicroPod SE can be used as front channels in a surround sound home theatre system.
Positioning the front loudspeakers within approximately 1 metre of the sides of your TV will create the
best sound image in scale with the visual image.
The height of MicroPod SE should ideally be between the centre and top of the TV screen.
If the loudspeakers are to be used for reproducing the surround channels in a multi channel home
theatre system, we suggest you place them as illustrated in Figures 2 to 4 depending on the number of
channels.
ENGLISH / Magnetic interference
MicroPod SE tweeter and woofer drive units are magnetically shielded ensuring that the magnetic field
outside the cabinet, except the front, is too low to cause distortion of the TV picture, and you can
place MicroPod SE as close to the TV screen as possible without causing visual interference or electro-
magnetic interference.

ENGLISH / Connecting your loudspeakers
We recommend that you read the manual of your amplifier or av-receiver carefully before connecting
your MicroPod SE loudspeakers. Please switch off all equipment when connecting MicroPod SE.
The binding posts on the terminal
accepts wire up to Ø 4mm or cables
with bananaplugs.
Make sure that the positive terminal
binding posts on MicroPod SE (+) are
connected to the positive output
terminal binding posts on the ampli-
fier and that the negative terminals
on MicroPod SE (-) are connected to
the negative output terminal on the
amplifier.
You are now ready to enjoy the great sound of MicroPod SE.
ENGLISH / Running-in period
We recommend a running-in period of your new MicroPod SE loudspeaker of approximately 15-20 hours at normal listening level before you decide on the
final positioning of the loudspeaker. During the running-in period, the drive units will settle in and perform as intended.
ENGLISH / Care and cleaning
We strongly advise against the use of any solvents or cleaners on the lacquered MicroPod SE cabinet. The cabinet surface usually only requires dusting or
cleaning with a damp soft cloth (only use cold clean water). Avoid touching the drive units, especially the tweeter, as damage may result.
ENGLISH / Environmental information
MicroPod SE complies with international directives on the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) in electrical and electronic equipment and the
disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) - the crossed bin symbol indicates compliance and that the products must be appropriately
recycled or processed in accordance with these directives.
